Reinventing Medical Gas Piping: Faster, Safer Installs with MediTrac CMT by Jackson Russo, Omega Flex

1:40 PM-1:50 PM

MediTrac corrugated medical tubing (CMT) is the most significant product advancement in medical gas piping since manufacturers began shipping cleaned and capped copper from their factories. MediTrac provides facilities and installing contractors with a medical gas piping system that installs quicker, safer and with a lower total installed cost than traditional copper systems.
